Steve- If total cost really isn't much of an issue, I would recommend that you consider going with an Epson 1280 printer and the UT2 inkset with CFS system. This gives more options and control than the BO printing method, and the 1280 can be had for quite a bit less that the 2200. So, what you save in buying the printer you can use to buy the UT2 CFS system. You can still try the BO method with this system as well, but I think you will be hooked on the results the UT2 system provides. Just something to consider. --- spersky123 <spersky@...> wrote: > Hello, > > After extensive research and reading and re-reading > Clayton's site in > addition to many other sites.
